Chu Li turned his head and closed fist saluted, "Your Highness, you can't be merciful to these people. They must not be forgiven!"
King An frowned, "There's no need to listen to their nonsense!"
Chu Li shook his head, "I'm just afraid that if we spare their lives, they will spread the news. When that happens, both Your Highness's and the Second Lady's reputation will be tarnished. They really have evil intentions and cannot be forgiven!"
King An said, "Grandmasters are the pillars of a country. It would be a pity to kill them all!"
Chu Li's face darkened and looked at King An, "Your Highness has repeatedly stopped me from killing them. Could it be …"
"Could it be what!" King An's gloomy face darkened even more. His eyes were cold and he was ready to kill him at any time.
However, Chu Li turned a blind eye to it and said indifferently, "Could it be that what they said is true?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" King An said.
"Chief Chu, you're too presumptuous!" Zheng Lide said coldly, "Your words are disrespectful to His Highness!"
Chu Li closed fist saluted, "I can't help but be suspicious of Your Highness's actions … I've heard rumors before that Your Highness is not satisfied with this marriage and does not want to marry the Second Lady. I don't think it's possible. The Second Lady is the first beauty of the Great Ji Dynasty. Her beauty is unparalleled and she has a kind, gentle and dignified character. She's a woman that every man dreams of. How could Your Highness not be satisfied? Looking at Your Highness's actions now, I'm starting to doubt if the rumors are groundless."
King An frowned, "Chu Li, you're too presumptuous!"
Chu Li closed fist saluted, "Please forgive me, Your Highness. As the Second Lady's Scribe, I have to say these words! Your Highness is a descendant of the Emperor and is indeed honorable. However, the Second Lady is not a lowly person either. She's more than qualified to be a match for His Highness, King Jing! "
"Presumptuous!" King An shouted and said coldly, "Chu Li, do you think I can't kill you?!"
Chu Li bowed again to apologize. He closed fist saluted and said, "Please forgive me, Your Highness. Since Your Highness has no intention to break the marriage, please kill these evil people and face them squarely!"
"I will decide whether to kill them or not!" King An scoffed, "On the day of the wedding, blood is not good. It's bad luck to see blood, let them leave! "
Chu Li chuckled.
"How dare you!" King An gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Chu Li, if this happens again, don't blame me for killing you!"
Chu Li shook his head and smiled. "Looks like what they said was true. Your Highness is blindly shielding her, so it's obvious that you have ulterior motives. … Your Highness is a dignified prince with a virtuous reputation, yet you actually use such a despicable method. I really can't help but laugh! "
Everyone looked at the two people who were at each other's throats. They did not even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that they would attract attention and be blamed.
They could all see that King An had already restrained himself to the limit. It could explode at any time. Once the prince was angry, blood would definitely be spilled. They did not want to be the unlucky ones.
Prince An gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up!"
Chu Li smiled and said, "Since they are His Highness's people, then all the more reason not to let them live. These vulgar people don't know how to think for His Highness. They don't advise His Highness to walk the righteous path and blindly use underhanded tricks. They should be beheaded!"
He turned his head and shouted, "Kill them!"
"Yes!" A blue-robed man shouted. The blade flashed. In the blink of an eye, ten people were beheaded by the blade. Blood flowed like a river.
This blue-robed man was Yue Jintao.
"Chu — Li —!" Prince An's eyes were instantly bloodshot. His body trembled. He roared loudly.
Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them. Prince An's sudden shout made them even more terrified. Their hearts were pounding so hard that it almost jumped out of their chests.
Ten years of hard work went down the drain. Ten Grandmasters died in one day. With these ten slashes. With these ten blades, half of the vitality of the Imperial Residence was cut off. This made Prince An's heart ache so much that he wanted to bleed. He almost fainted!
"Pfft!" Prince An spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Highness!" Zheng Lide and Meng Zhi quickly went forward to support him.
Prince An wiped off the blood on his mouth. He spat out a mouthful of gloomy air. His chest felt clear and he could finally breathe.
Chu Li looked at Prince An quietly. He was delighted.
Killing these people was equivalent to chopping off one of Prince An's arms. The remaining Grandmasters would lose their elites, and the pressure he would face after entering the Imperial Residence would lessen a lot.
The Imperial Residence of King An probably had more than twenty Grandmasters. He had killed three of them earlier, as well as Gu Yue and Ding Jian. In addition to these ten, he had killed a total of fifteen Grandmasters.
The number of Grandmasters that Prince An had left was estimated to be less than ten. Of course, he might have hidden more people, but based on Prince An's intense reaction, he should not have hidden too many of them.
In this way, the High Duke's Public House's strength would be similar to that of the High Duke's Public House. The High Duke's Public House would be able to handle it, and he would also be relieved of his worries.
However, King An could not wait to kill him right now, so he had to be careful.
"Your Highness?" Zheng Lide looked at Prince An carefully, then looked at Chu Li. His eyes emitted a cold glare as he stared at him. Meng Zhi did the same too.
Chu Li acted as if nothing had happened. He asked with concern, "Is Your Highness alright?"
King An was furious, but he suddenly calmed down. He looked at Chu Li calmly and nodded, "I'm fine. Chief Chu, I'll remember what happened today, and I'll return the favor in full!"
Chu Li smiled, "Your Highness, you're exaggerating."
Prince An glanced at the corpses on the ground and shook his head.
If they died, then they died. There was no point in talking about it. It was impossible to revive them. The High Duke's Public House had the Spirit Blessing Pill, but the Imperial Residence did not. The Imperial House had it, and he had two or three of them, but he could not give them to them.
Although it was difficult to find Grandmasters, as long as he searched carefully, he would be able to find one by relying on his reputation. He could slowly replenish the number of Grandmasters. His father was in the prime of his life, the fight for the throne was a long process, there was no need to rush.
"The smell of blood here is too strong. Let's continue our journey," Prince An said calmly.
"Yes," Zheng Lide quickly responded.
Chu Li waved his hand.
The group of blue-robed men fluttered away. They went into the forest like ghosts and disappeared without a trace.
Zhao Qingshan and Lu Donglou returned to Chu Li's side. They looked at Chu Li with a complicated expression.
No matter how they thought about it, they would never have thought that Chu Li would be so ruthless. He really dared to kill ten Grandmasters at once. This would definitely be earth-shattering news. Tomorrow, the entire martial arts world would know about it.
Grandmasters always had a high status. In addition to that, they were always alert to danger. They would almost never fall into a desperate situation. They would avoid danger in advance and rarely die.
In the eyes of all the martial arts world people, as long as they reached the Grandmaster level, they would not have to worry about not dying a good death. They could live with confidence.
However, this time, Chu Li killed ten Grandmasters in one go. Ten Grandmasters. The martial arts world of the Great Ji Dynasty did not have more than two hundred Grandmasters. He killed ten of them in one go!
Chu Li continued to be the last. His expression was calm as if nothing had happened.
However, the way the people of Prince An's Imperial Residence looked at him changed. They were no longer arrogant and condescending. Their arrogance was shattered by him. When they looked at him, they avoided his gaze. They did not dare to look him in the eye. They were afraid that he would kill them.
Grandmasters could be killed at will, not to mention themselves!
Chu Li's action was very effective in establishing his authority. Those who were jealous and even wanted to play some tricks quietly put away their thoughts. They decided to be more honest. He even dared to go against the Royal Highness. He killed ten Grandmasters in one go. What else would he not dare to do!
